Owen Hargreaves has raved about Chelsea winger Pedro Neto after the Portuguese star starred against Everton at Hill Dickinson Stadium, as Blues manager Xabi Alonso gives an update on goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez.

Chelsea beat Everton 2-0 away from home in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

Neto, who has been on the books of Chelsea since the summer of 2024 when he joined from Wolves, scored both goals for Xabi Alonso’s side.

Neto scored his first goal for Chelsea from Jorrel Hato’s deflected cutback in the opening minute of the second half.

The 26-year-old Portugal international winger added a second goal for the Blues in the 90th minute with a cool finish into the bottom corner after Jordan Henderson’s free-kick hit the wall.

Hargreaves said on TNT Sports (2:30pm, October 17, 2026): “I thought Morgan Rogers was terrific, Cole Palmer was terrific, Caicedo had a big impact, but the big moments have belong to that man there, Pedro Neto – definitely an unsung hero in this Chelsea team.”
